Please make your (our) financial information available to owners. I think it's reasonable for our owners to be able to review sales figures, co-op profit, and debt. Thank you! P.S. I am a former board member. I also know that other co-ops are far more transparent about this information than Common Ground.

I am at a big loss for Banana Bread. I really miss it with my coffee and the taste of it!

Oh! Thank you for being such a fan. We've told our bakery team about how you miss it. The bakery decided to discontinue the banana bread because it wasn't selling enough instead decided to feature Pekara's bakery items. If you need something to accompany your coffee, I highly recommend the almond croissant. It's delicious!

We had the best day visiting the studio and home of Sarah and Charles Wisseman, the featured Co-op artists! We look forward to hosting an Art Gallery Reception on January 27th, from 6:30-8:30pm in our Flatlander Classroom and we hope you can join us.

Sarah and Charles, owners of the Co-op, make a powerful couple because they are both brilliant and creative artists, respectful world travelers, esteemed experts in their academic realms of archeology and pathology, and delightful to be around.

Co-op Owners get a discount for sending their kids to Amara Yoga & Arts! Save $20 on a 6-class pass (regulary $120). Just give your Owner number when registering or use the "coop" promo code when signing up online. Parents can drop off kids and take a yoga class in the South Studio at the same time!

Common Ground Food Co-operative is committed to supporting a vital and inclusive community and this End especially applies to downtown Urbana where our co-op is located. Given our dedication to democratic governance and improving our community we are especially excited by the possibilities inherent in the Open Scene project.
